Media Operations Database Backup - HP Data Protector A.06.11 User Manual

A Backup Manager object is automatically deleted from Media Operations when it
is deleted from the Backup Manager. Media Operations detects deleted objects
during the Config Report and Full Media scheduled polling events, so there is a delay
between deleting the object in the Backup Manager and in Media Operations.
The following objects are not immediately deleted from Media Operations:
Medium is not immediately deleted; instead it is set to pending delete and added
•
to a blank media vaulting job the next time vaulting jobs are created. The blank
media vaulting job retrieves the deleted medium from its current storage locations
and returns it back to the blank media bin for reuse or destruction. The medium
is fully deleted from Media Operations once it has been added to a blank media
vaulting job.
• Media pools containing the pending delete media are retained until the media
are fully deleted.
• If a medium is deleted from a Backup Manager and added to a blank media
vaulting job, and the vaulting job retrieves the deleted medium from another
Media Operations Server acting as an offsite vendor, the medium is automatically
deleted from the offsite server after it is retrieved.
• Backup specifications deleted from the Backup Manager are not deleted from
Media Operations if there are media present in the Backup Manager containing
backups from that backup specification. This allows you to locate media for a
checkout request based on the backup specification even though they are no
longer running in the Backup Manager. In this case, the backup specification is
shown as disabled in the Media Operations GUI.

Media Operations database backup

The Media Operations Server must be protected by backup against loss of database
information in a disaster.
Use the Media Operations Server console to configure and schedule backups of the
server database. See the server online help for instructions.
IMPORTANT:
The server backup process creates a copy of the server database files. HP strongly
recommended you include server backup files in your tape backup scheme.
